VanEck: State Bitcoin Reserve Bills Could Cost $23B in BTC! 🤑

Hold onto your hats, folks! According to a recent analysis by asset manager VanEck, proposed laws to create strategic Bitcoin (BTC) reserves in American states could cost a whopping $23 billion in Bitcoin buys! 💸

VanEck took a gander at 20 state-level Bitcoin reserve bills and found that state governments would have to cough up around 247,000 BTC if these bills become laws. That’s a lot of Bitcoin, folks! And that’s not even counting potential BTC purchases by state pension funds. Yikes!

“This $23b number is potentially conservative,” says Matthew Sigel, VanEck’s head of research. “Many of these states are ‘n/a’ with size unknown.” 🤔
